You should get my drift by now. Everyone knows that the old fairy tales are loaded with symbolism and hidden meaning. The only thing that scientists still have not figured out is what kind of puppy Snow White really was. Theories range from blonde Lab to black toy Poodle (Disney has not helped a lot to clear this up). It has been established that the Queen was a Doberman, the Dwarfs - Bassets*, the Prince - a Vet (off course, who else has the knowledge and ability to revive a puppy with mouth to mouth?). There is not much enthusiasm yet in finding out the true identity of the King. Totally useless in defending his offspring from the Doberman. Probably a cat. Let's not speculate on that, it could go the wrong way.
There was another exciting discovery made during the 50 year project that was aimed at analyzing this tale. That fabulously honest mirror was the first version of a mood reflector, who would make you feel worse than you already did by saying out loud what you already felt and knew, or better when you felt, well, better already. We have a watered down modern day version - The Psychiatrist. (How do you feel about that?).
The fable probably got twisted over hundreds of years as dog lovers tried to personalize their best friends and convey to cat lovers just how human dogs are and how inhumane some people can be.
Back to the mirror. Dog people all have one or more or four. Just look a little lower. If you see that your nose is bigger and your ears more floppy and that love pours from your eyes, you'll know that all is okay and that you are indeed the fairest of them all.

* How the symbolic dwarfs were decoded:
Dopey = Droopy (dawg, the famous cartoon Basset)
Grumpy = Snarling Basset
Bashful = Bashet-Full, meaning: Full of Basset, 100% Basset
Happy = any Basset in this house
Sleepy = tired Basset
Doc = another vet
Sneezy = Basset who vacuum sniffed a grasshopper up its nose.
